Goals:
-Start DesignModeler and open an existing database (agdb).
-Navigate through the GUI viewing controls.
-Create a new plane on an existing face of the model.
-Draw and dimension a 2-D sketch on the new plane (dimensioning will adequately specify the size and location of the sketch)
-Extrude the sketch to modify the existing geometry (cut a hole through the original part).
-Save the project and exit
Starting Workbench
-Start Workbench. Double click on Geometry under component systems.
-This will create a ‘Geometry component’ in the Project Schematic area.
Launching DM
-Right click on
select link1.agdb from the list
-Double click on
Generate
Modeling and Sketching Modes
Tree Outline
Click the “+” next to “Extrude1” to expand the branch (if you have not done so yet).
-[Modeling]: Extrude1 > SKETCH1
-Observe that “SKETCH1” is associated with the XYPlane as well as Extrude1 in the tree outline
Mouse and Manipulation of Views
Click the blue “Iso” ball in the triad in the graphics window.
This orients the model to an isometric view.
Use the right mouse button and drag a zoom window around the top surface of the model. Note this is a shortcut for zoom operations (practice the use of mouse for graphics manipulation till you are familiar with the operations)
Generate a New Plane
Using the left mouse button click on the top surface to select it.
-Click on the “new plane” icon to create a plane. A preview of the plane is displayed with a triad at the plane origin (RGB = XYZ).
-Click on “Generate”.
Note: by pre-selecting the surface then creating the plane the details indicate the plane will be a “From Face” type.
Leave the default settings in the plane details and “Generate” the plane.
